Davide Santon (now retired)


Recommended Posts

So elegant on-the-ball, coming out of his own half.

 

To continue at LB he definitely needs some specialist defensive coaching, because he cannot defend with his left. If a fb cannot sweep around the feet of an outside attacker, they're going to be a whipping boy. Worse if they lack confidence & they deny the winger the outside alley, to compensate, creative widemen (not run & cross 'pure' wingers) will kill you with options on the inside. He's got the tools to be close-checking fb. His positional naivity (ie. creeping forward ahead the defensive line, exposing himself to outlet ball in-behind) can be reined-in as he matures. But 'the defending with his left' is a fundamental requirement (technically) of the position, especially in a league where fbs are often isolated in acres of space, and maturity alone won't solve that.

Someone could do with teaching this lad how to cross, he gets himself in good positions time and time again but very rarely puts a decent ball in. He got caught being lazy and not tracking back after losing the ball in the first half as well, which he needs to cut out of his game

Needed dropping several games ago, now needs to step up and stop dicking about with his defending. Our most talented full-back probably. For him to be this bad is verging on unprofessional.

Horrible at fullback today. In the 3-5-2 with less defensive duties looked much better.

 

 

He literally goes missing at FB.

 

Worried if you thought we went 3-5-2, but as a wide player in 4-3-2-1 we switch to he did play well.
